My worry is that one or few will fail outside the warranty and then no rma and then no replacement. These drives are so expensive that I can’t afford it. I would sell the 8tb to help pay for the 12tb. 8tb space increase is nice! I know seagate are a bit dodgy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am about to buy 5 x 12tb seagate ironwolfs to replace my 6 x archives. As this is going to be a very expensive purchase, I just need to know if this ok or not? I would prefer to buy 14tb/16tb hdd but I am not sure when they will be out. I need to make a decision soon as the archives warranties are running out in about a month.

I finished the rebuild and went to dashboard and saw that it seems that a parity check occurred whilst doing the rebuild and no errors were found. Does this actually mean a parity heck occurred? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a way to run preclear without unraid? I want the server to to be unpowered and all hdds spun down as I am worried about other hdds failing whilst the server unraid is prelcearing the new hdd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I put the disc back into unraid and it showed up. However unraid it warning of the reallocated sector count. All other hdds are zero but disk2 is 11728.
Are you sure that unraid wont disable a drive because of this?
My biggest concern is whether the data on disk2 was written to properly when I was writing to it (before the failure)?
